Renewing Intersect's share of the National Computational Infrastructure's peak facility: The rapid and continuing growth of supercomputing capabilities presents major new opportunities for scientific and engineering research. This project aims to allow world-leading computational researchers across the Intersect consortium of 11 universities to take advantage of these opportunities by renewing their partner share access to the National Computational Infrastructure facilities, notably a new petaflop-capable supercomputer and associated expert support. This access will enable the consortium's researchers to tackle grand challenge research problems in a diverse range of fields of national priority including frontier technologies, the environment, and promoting good health.Read moreRead less
Microengineering of nonlinear optical media with ultrafast light. This project aims to demonstrate a new technique to modify nonlinear optical response of ferroelectrics and nonlinear semiconductors on the microscale. This all-optical technique employs the interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with matter to alter its nonlinear properties and is reinforced with our own method of Cherenkov frequency generation for in situ monitoring of the nonlinearity engineering process. The technique offers a ....Microengineering of nonlinear optical media with ultrafast light. This project aims to demonstrate a new technique to modify nonlinear optical response of ferroelectrics and nonlinear semiconductors on the microscale. This all-optical technique employs the interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with matter to alter its nonlinear properties and is reinforced with our own method of Cherenkov frequency generation for in situ monitoring of the nonlinearity engineering process. The technique offers a versatile approach to fabricate nonlinear photonic structures for the application in novel light sources, optical signal processing and pulse compression. Innovative ideas emanating from the project have great potential for commercialisation and will enhance Australia's reputation in the field of nonlinear photonics.Read moreRead less
Managing light in nonlinear photonic structures. In this project we investigate the propagation of light in nonlinear optical crystals, that is media with engineered nonlinear optical properties. Innovative ideas emanating from this project may find practical application in communication technologies and will strengthen the reputation of Australia in the field of nonlinear photonics.
